Brand new day, brand new sem, brand new class...

Yes today marks the first day of school. On this note, I realised how time has past, I have been in Japan for 3 whole months. Anyone misses me badly?

Stephy, my dear comrade is still in my class =) Such a coincidence. Did I mention she was also in my primary school and in my Pri. 3 class? Yes, that is how far our history goes back to. Well, Owen and Reko is still in the same class as us while the rest of the class consisted of 3 new students and some others from other classes previously.

Basically we did the same things we did previously. Almost the same... the orientation, the goals for the class and then we got into groups to do self-introduction and finally the board. Yes, remember that? the fateful one (different questions though) which got me introduced to Owen and Shaggy in the previous sem.

Somehow... somehow something seems a little wrong. As I was telling Steph and Grace during lunch just now, I am not in a bad mood or what. In fact I feel hopeful and even looking forward to achieving some of the things I wanna do in the new year. But then, when I entered the class, I couldn't feel the sense of excitement I felt when I first saw the previous class. It was like now I couldn't be much bothered to know everyone in the class. The class now just doesn't feel as close, as genki or as spontaneous than what we had. Perhaps cus we had Owen who was super genki then and the rest of the people who were equally funny. But now, I just miss my old class, my teachers, the familar seats, the familar way we greet each other in the morning, fight over switching the heater, the windows... Even the times where we will climb out of the window to the balcony to have lunch together in a group.

Perhaps it is just because it is a new sem and I had too much fun with my previous class. Or maybe it is just too difficult to make new friends, get really close to them and then having them leave to go home. In any case, I still hope I will have fun with the new class...

But one thing I am happy about is the new electives. Among the academic ones I chosen, there is a Japanese cuisine class! Very happy about that. can't wait for it to start!!

Ok... going Nagoya to shop with the girls tom again... hope that will cheer me up considerably. But of course, I have a long weekend. Monday is a holiday in Japan.. going to sleep in probably.. or do something... Something I have been thinking about. Wait for me to update in my blog! =)
